Adriatic coast faces severe thunderstorm and flooding risks
A powerful thunderstorm front is moving across the Mediterranean toward the Adriatic coast. After causing heavy rainfall, hail, and wind in Spain, the Balearic Islands, and the French coast near Marseille, the system has moved through Corsica, Sardinia, and the western coast of Italy.
The Croatian meteorological service, DHMZ, reports that the front is expected to reach the Croatian Adriatic coast on Thursday afternoon. There is a significant risk of severe thunderstorms and local flooding, which could impact roads and transportation.
Meteorologists note that unusually warm Mediterranean waters are fueling the storm system by providing high levels of energy and moisture to the atmosphere.
